        Hello.  What do you get if you just let the     bus numbers float?
i.e.

        {163} config -x | grep ixpide0
        ixpide0         at pci0 dev 20 function 1
        atabus?         at ixpide0 channel 0
        atabus?         at ixpide0 channel 1
        {164}

(rev. 0x00)
}       ixpide0: bus-master DMA support present
}       ixpide0: primary channel configured to compatibility mode
}       ixpide0: primary channel interrupting at ioapic0 pin 14

}       ixpide0: secondary channel interrupting at ioapic0 pin 15
}       atabus at ixpide0 channel 1 not configured
}       {165}
} 
} It's not really hurting anything, since the ixpide ports do not appear

} matters, this is an ASUS KGPE-D16), but I was just surprised to see the 
} "not configured" messages.
